1 Corinthians 10:12 - NLT
If you think you are stranding strong, be careful, for you, too, may fall into the same sin.
Peter dressed for the dinner. His friends tried to tell him he shouldn't go, but he ignored them. He'd been doing great on his diet. He was in total control. He knew there would be wonderful and exotic food where he was going, but he could handle it. Too bad he forgot that when he got there. The temptation was too great for him. Before he realized what was happening, he was stuffed. In one day, he blew a couple of weeks of hard work. We can't afford to get cocky when we diet. Each day is a new struggle all its own. Ask God for daily help. Avoid situations where temptation prevails. The Lord will be sure to help you, whenever you let Him.

Today's Tip: Health and Diet
Vinegar, that tangy, low-calorie seasoning for salads and marinades, also cuts grease, removes stains and lifts mineral deposits! Contrary to some popular advertisements, it’s not a miracle weight-loss potion. It’s actually the opposite. The acidic effects of vinegar may help break down dietary fat, making it more readily absorbable.
